Sadly, there's a lot to be said for Marina Hyde's analysis here. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Tory Party is in a very, very bad place—and clearly doesn’t realise it

Powerful, grubby men using their connections to cover their abuse of a trafficked teenage girl. After all the revelations, it's never "not" shocking. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/royals/...

This. It's not renewables that make electricity expensive, it's gas. We need to change the incentives.

I suspect the government - as well as the police, CPS and courts system - is secretly quite happy to have lost the appeal against the decision to allow the judicial review of the proscription of Palestine Action - hopefully the judicial review will strike it down, and common sense can be restored.

I agree with this.

It happened sooner than I thought!

👏👏👏👏

Exactly this.

The public are almost unbelievably ignorant about most aspects of migration policy, pt 45754. Is there any greater subject that illustrates the complete abject failure of our mass audience media than migration?

Exactly this.

So if your paying for printers, ink, paper, and physical storage space for paperwork you've printed off, all to protect against you getting hacked and your cloud storage being accessed - why bother paying for cloud storage? OCR scanners are now cheap and really good!

Spot on.

The 15 year old girl who was dragged from her car by ICE had recently had kidney surgery. She was thrown to the ground despite screaming “I’m not resisting” She had to return to the hospital. These aggressive tactics will disable. They will kill. They must be held accountable.

Go on then Nigel Farage, keep telling us you know nothing about Russian influence… The Farage staffer, the Russian embassy and a smear campaign against a Kremlin critic www.theguardian.com/politics/201...

"During the first 10 years of the spending cuts that began in 2010, councils’ funding for youth services in England and Wales suffered a real-terms cut of 70%. By 2023, about 1,200 publicly run youth centres had closed, and more than 4,500 youth workers had lost their jobs." #r4today

A ban on borrowing to fund government expenditure surely means huge cuts to all public services on a scale never seen before. The NHS could not survive this. Neither could the Triple Lock.

Let's hope the racists, religious loons and fascists in both Hamas and the Israeli government will stop trying to kill everyone on the other side. Sadly, I don't think it will last. I hope beyond hope that I'm wrong.

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

Reservoirs are now fuller in Spain than they are in South West England. And South West England is probably in a better position that much of the rest of the country. Across England, there is no meaningful rainfall in sight.

Ceasefire withdrawal #bbclaurak

Every day is a good day to point out that 92% of Reform's donations were found to come from figures and groups linked to the fossil fuel industry. @desmog.com

"I have worked with Nathan Gill over a period of years and he's been terrific, he's never, ever, let me down. He's as honest as the day is long." Nigel Farage BBC News 2016

Israeli deputy foreign minister Sharren Haskel on BBC World Service says Israel has accepted "Trump's 20 point plan" but Hamas has not. She's dodging all questions about tomorrow's conference and falling back on the old scripts. It's Israel against the world.

Politico: "Boris Johnson breached anti-sleaze rules (again) after failing to come clean about work he is said to have done for two firms without consulting regulators...Johnson sought to link firms up with foreign government representatives & entered into contracts without consulting the watchdog."

More Brexit benefits.

Exactly. But a decade of relentless lies, unchallenged by most of the mass audience media, will change that I'm sure.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms. (Published June)

Polanski is a great communicator, in charge of a party with a clear platform. His ability to take on the bollocks pushed by Reform and the Tufton Street bro's is refreshing. It also makes Labour's abject failure to communicate the positive things it's doing and attack the right seem cowardly.

Absolutely spot on.

Exactly this.

Yup. But the politics of replacing it with a property tax are .... challenging. To raise more money overall,.most people would pay more than they are now - obviously.

This is what political courage can do. There was a loud, well connected and well financed but small minority against these measures, but Khan pushed through, and now theres no chance of it being rolled back. Elected officials throughout the country - please take note.

New polling by YouGov, commissioned by B4B, shows: 📊 46% of potential Conservative voters consider Brexit a failure. 📊 Most blame Boris Johnson, David Cameron and Nigel Farage for Brexit's failure. Full research here: https://bit.ly/46LZq1G

100%. The people in Soho who bought places 40 years ago now blocking late licences and outdoor seating are the worst hypocrites. *They* specifically moved there for the noise and nightlife, and now spend their lives making this harder for young people, and so hurting local businesses.

Exactly this. I'm in my late 50's. The first alcohol I drank with friends when my parents weren't there was in our local pub with mates - the landlord knew who we were, and knew our dads. So our drinking was controlled. Loosing these social controls on drinking has been a disaster.

Peter Atwater “With each passing day, the AI space looks more and more like the USA’s home mortgage securitization at the peak of the 2007-8 housing bubble with its overlapping series of capital conveyor belts.”

This Guardian article attacks the sensible changes to make it easier for pubs and bars to attract customers. The liberal left and centre left are just - if not more - as NIMBYish as the small c conservatives. Soho is a great case in point. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

What a brilliant graphic. The interesting group are those which are Reformy on cultural issues but centre/left economically. Key political question - would better and noticeable improvements in what the state provides, & more state involvement in the economy, shift those people away from Reform?

When you're not in anyone's tent any more, you become the lions' chew toy. We would have no worries as EU members. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Depressingly true.

Exactly this.
